say is a simple string key/value store for i18n or any other case where you want namespaced strings.

Check out [busted](https://lunarmodules.github.io/busted/) for extended examples.

```lua

s = require("say")

s:set_namespace("en")

s:set('money', 'I have %s dollars')

s:set('wow', 'So much money!')

print(s('money', {1000})) -- I have 1000 dollars

s:set_namespace("fr") -- switch to french!

s:set('wow', "Tant d'argent!")

print(s('wow')) -- Tant d'argent!

s:set_namespace("en")  -- switch back to english!

print(s('wow')) -- So much money!

```

NOTE: the parameters table can have `nil` values, but in that case it must have an `n` field to indicate table size.

```lua

s = require("say")

s:set('money', 'I have %s %s')

print(s('money', {1000, "dollars"})) -- I have 1000 dollars

print(s('money', {nil, "euros", n = 2})) -- I have nil euros

```
